ORIGINAL: GhitaAmati Anyone else watched this movie? Any thoughts or opinions? Hello Ghita..... This topic has been discussed /re-hashed here many many times - So you'll see no long drawn-out posts or rebuttals from me. I will simply re-post in the quote box a brilliant post by my friend Subfever that addresses my basic theory /viewpoint as it relates to various alternative scenarios. I STRONGLY emphasize the last paragraph. quote:
Seriously though, "conspiracy theory" debates rarely ever end with their participants reaching common conclusions. Disbelievers want proof. Well, what constitutes "proof" other than actual verbal admission from conspirators themselves, or actual documents that prove a conspiracy? In cases of real conspiracies, conspirators rarely ever go public with their knowledge while their co-conspirators are still in power. It's just not a healthy action for them to take! And classified documents are not released until the conspirators are long dead and/or out of power. By then, focus on the topic has been reduced to a tiny fraction. Therefore, debating over current, forefront conspiracy theories is generally pointless, as it becomes nothing more than an exchange of opinions. What about conspiracy theories of many years past that were eventually proven to be true? My experience has been that people who disbelieve in conspiracy theories across the board will often take the position that the topic at hand was never really a conspiracy theory to begin with. It is of my opinion that people like this have a strong need to believe in structure and order, and that those who are in power are benevolent. In other words, conspiracy theories work against their core belief systems. Have a great night. - R
